He might have filled in a POW questionnaire which would be at the National Archives, which would give some detail about his capture and camps as well as some personal information. If you can let me have some detail, I'll have a look for you. |

The info you've given on the thread - name, number and regiment- should be fine. |

I have just received an uncle's service records from Historic disclosures. They say you might have to wait up to a year as they are dealing with large numbers of living welfare cases. However I only had to wait 6 1/2 months. Cost is £30. Non refundable if they can't find a record. My uncle was a POW in WWll. The service record only shows him as missing, then as featuring on the German POW lists. There is no mention of where he was held, although I happen to have a postcard he sent from the camp (Stalag XXA). I don't think the German army told the allies where any particular POW was held. |

I think Annielaurie deserves a "GOLDEN STAR" Info received this morning. How does she do it? All I could have asked for. |
